Žalgiris vs Malmö Prediction: Swedish club to win

Žalgiris will take on Malmö in a UEFA Champions League qualifying match. Let´s see how the opponents are doing & what the best bet is. There are several options for you to consider!

Žalgiris represents Lithuania on the national stage. After 18 rounds, the team tops the table of the Lietuvos krepšinio lyga with 41 points. It should be noted that Žalgiris has already made it through one round of the UEFA Champions League qualification, where they faced the Kosovo club Ballkani. In the first leg the opponents made it a draw (1-1), the main time of the second leg ended in a draw as well (0-0). However, in the extra Žalgiris managed to score and earned a pass to the next round.

Malmö is a much more distinguished club from Sweden, who played in the group stage of the Champions League last season. After 14 rounds in Allsvenskan, the team takes the fifth position in the standings with 27 points. Like Žalgiris, Malmö has already managed to go through one stage of the Champions League qualifying by defeating Icelandic Vikingur Reykjavik (6-5 on the aggregate in two games).

The bookmakers' experts think that Malmö is the favorite to win the upcoming match, and we agree with them. The Swedish club is bigger in class and status than the Lithuanian one, so they can probably get a win to make it easier in the return game. We suggest betting on that.

Prediction: Malmö will win.
